Fujisan was great. Our car couldn’t make it to the inn. Fuji came down the hill in a snowstorm to pick us up, he called ahead to make sure the local restaurant stayed open for us as well. Breakfasts were excellent, the rooms were large by ryokan standards and very clean. The Hanabun is a vintage gem tucked deep in the Myoko Mountains.

The hotel was under construction, smelled like propane, there was no restaurants open in walking distance, and the onsen was closed. We didn’t stay the night we left and found better suited accommodation.

Hotel Hanabun was a great ryokan experience! It is nestled in the mountains offering a peaceful getaway from touristy/crowded areas. It had the best onsen water, even the locals went there to bathe! The hosts and staff are all friendly and accommodating to your needs. Google translate was necessary to communicate, but everyone is very patient. The food was incredibly delicious, and they use locally sourced, fresh ingredients. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy ryokan.

温泉もお料理も最高でした。

燕温泉から、妙高山へ登山するため、前泊しましたが、とても気持ちの良い旅館でした。 お料理もおいしく、乳白色の温泉は温泉好きの私の中でもベスト3に入る独特な心地良さでした。 旅館の方々も親切で、またの機会に再訪したいです。
